In June 2016, GreenEdge scientists will leave for 2 months in the Arctic aboard the research icebreaker CCGS Amundsen. They will carry out observations intended to improve their understanding of the behaviour and the role of the marine ecosystem in Baffin Bay.
Nearly 50 full-station sampling days at the 2015 ice camp, between mid-March and mid-July, made possible the sampling of 20 different categories of measurements, completing a first field season. Findings about initiation and onset of the phytoplankton spring bloom are still undergoing from sample analyses in different laboratories. The expedition was a great success both in terms of science and in terms of integrating into the Inuit community of Qikiqtarjuaq (Nunavut, Canada).
